The stalling of tree planting rates has been a problem across England for the last decade, and is not specific to the National Forest (13 August, p 5). We have continued to deliver between 100 and 200 hectares of new forest for the last nine years, and expect to meet the national target for woodlands in management well before the 2020 deadline.
